The Federal Government has announced plans to sell back water allocations to farmers along the Murray-Darling river system. The Commonwealth currently owns almost 1,700 gigalitres of water in the basin, following several years of environmental buy-backs. Parliamentary secretary for the environment Simon Birmingham says the trade of this year's water allocations will have important economic benefits while also maintaining environmental flows. "The core test for the environmental water holder in undertaking these activities is whether it better achieves environmental outcomes, whether it aligns with the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, which the Coalition is committed to implementing in full and on time," he said.Mon, 20 Jan 2014 15:35:00 +1100\xmlcontent\201401\3928203.xmlABC Goulburn MurraysoutheastnswbrokenhillcentralwestnewenglandriverinasouthqldriverlandcentralvicwesternvicmilduraswanhillgoulburnmurrayEnvironment:All:AllEnvironment:Rivers:AllEnvironment:Rivers:Murray-Darling BasinEnvironment:Water:AllEnvironment:Water Management:AllGovernment and Politics:All:AllGovernment and Politics:Federal Government:AllRural:All:AllRural:Irrigation:AllAustralia:All:AllAustralia:NSW:AllAustralia:NSW:Bega 2550Australia:NSW:Broken Hill 2880Australia:NSW:Orange 2800Australia:NSW:Tamworth 2340Australia:NSW:Wagga Wagga 2650Australia:QLD:AllAustralia:QLD:Toowoomba 4350Australia:SA:AllAustralia:SA:Renmark 5341Australia:VIC:AllAustralia:VIC:Bendigo 3550Australia:VIC:Horsham 3400Australia:VIC:Mildura 3500Australia:VIC:Wodonga 3690Irrigation in the Murray-Darling basinA farmer walking past a mobile irrigation boom on a dying oat crop in the Murray-Darling river basin outside Moulamein.
